Indonesia’s Covid-19 Task Force Advise Against Year-End Holiday Travels

Indonesia’s Covid-19 Task Force head Doni Monardo has urged the public to reconsider their travel plans for the year-end Christmas and New Year’s holidays, even as the arrival of the country’s first coronavirus vaccines provided the country with its first breaks against the coronavirus.

“I advise the [Indonesian] public not to travel during the [Christmas and New Year’s] holidays, as the Meteorology, Climatology and Geophysics Agency [BMKG] warned about the onset of extreme weather conditions over the next two or three weeks,” warned the former four-star general.

“The country still also has to contend with Covid-19, as the pandemic is still raging nationwide. The public should also beware about the possibility of crowds during the December 9 [regional elections], Christmas and New Year’s, among them family get-togethers during the latter occasions.”

The BMKG has warned about the possibility of heavy rainfall averaging more than 300 millimeters on Christmas and New Year’s last November.
